I always love an edition where we get to see Anne Darcy, and this is a lovely story along that vein. Probably the best Anne+Georgiana combo that I've read. Many times I've wondered what Georgie would be like if she had had her mother around, this version gives us a great look at that AU. However, I found D&E's relationship sluggish. The title here is clever, its all about the matchmaking moms, and how their motives and ends all differ. However, it leaves D to stubborn for too long for my tastes and then wraps very quickly. We never even get to see him propose! Overall I felt like it was a lot of lead up, and not much payoff for D&E, more evidence that this book is really about Anne.

Going through my JR books for a second round.
This was cute too. A wonderful dynamic having a strong Lady Anne in the picture and Geogiana being 18 yrs old experiencing her first season.

I liked Darcy getting told off by his mommy. Heehee...

It was a good reading. I always wondered how much changed would Darcy and Georgiana be if they had their mother's influence. There were not that many obstacles as I thought there would be but it was fast and sweet.
